Question

anonymous · Answer

2000-500=1500
so she has to make greater than 1500 on an hourly rate of 10/h
1500/10
150 hours a month
technically for option 2 to pay more she would have to work anything over 150 hours a month

why did u subtract

okay well. she is already making 500 dollars a month no matter what
and she wants to be making over 2000 dollars a month
so if you take the amount she's making on a monthly salary (500) away from the 2000 total she needs to make you are left with 1500, the amount she needs to make through wage pay (10 dollars / hour)
